Gabriella Brignardello '12“No matter how much time passes, I know that I will always be a La Reina girl at heart because it is this school, this faculty, and this group of girls that encouraged me to become confident, giving, and strong in my beliefs."

ConfidentLeaders

Claire Sheller '17“La Reina is more than just a college preparatory school. It is a family. Nowhere else have I experienced the love of Christ shine through so many individuals. I can confidently say that I’ve been shaped by my education at La Reina. I never felt the need to conform or to act a certain way. My friends are not merely my classmates, they are my sisters.”

CompassionateYoung Women

Talia Berriz '17"The amazing community at La Reina has shaped me into who I am today. The academics made me intelligent, my friends made me strong and the teachers made me feel cared for in a way I didn’t think a school could do. But, then again, La Reina is not just a school. It is a family. A family who has raised me to be a strong, independent woman, ready to take on the world.”

ExceptionalEducational Experience

Julianna Emmanuel '17"La Reina has supported me along my faith journey and helped me discover more about my Catholic faith. The teachers have taught me to love learning and have become my advocates and friends. La Reina has given me the confidence to pursue my dreams, stand up for what I believe in, taught me the value of service and has given me a passion for social justice and a desire to create a better world.”

Statement in the Wake of the Death of George Floyd

Dear La Reina Community:

We join Pope Francis "in praying for the repose of the soul of George Floyd and of all those others who have lost their lives as a result of the sin of racism."

In their founding and continuing sponsorship of La Reina, the Sisters of Notre Dame have imparted to us their educational vision and principles. These values of educating for the transformation of individuals and society, working for justice, respecting the human dignity of each person and developing reflective critical thinkers who “have the determination to influence systemic and structural change,” are core tenets of our teaching. These principles, among other values they articulate, challenge us to respond to the reprehensible killing of George Floyd and other Black lives that our country mourns. These tragedies compel us to act and to address the inequities that exist in our nation. Please refer to the SND official statement HERE.

In recent days one of our 2020 graduates has inspired many of her alumnae sisters in calling our La Reina community to search our hearts and examine our consciences with one central question…can we do better? The fact that this young woman has issued this challenge to school leadership, her fellow alumnae, and to our community, is a source of pride that the SND principles and values are being effectively transmitted.

In the Spirit of Christ, it is our pledge to act; to discover where we can grow and to engage our students and constituents in the process. Led by our office of Mission and Catholic Identity, we will form a broadly representative panel to help us in our efforts toward greater diversity, inclusion, and equity. Whether it’s having difficult conversations, enhancing our coursework, examining our service program, redoubling our efforts to raise more resources for tuition assistance, cultivating greater student voice in our processes, closely monitoring our demographic trends against our enrollment, or other key aspects of our school, we will look comprehensively and deeply at what we do, how we do it and with whom we do it.

We welcome your thoughts and invite you to use the following email link, website@lareina.com to contribute to our process.
